Depends. My sister the New Yorker could probably walk to Rustic Canyon (the restaurant, not the neighborhood) from there...

More realistically, tons of stuff on Main Street. What's "good" in my opinion:

Sunny Blue for omusubi. We go at least once a month. Brick + Mortar was decent but I've only been once. Urth Caffe's not bad. Rita's Italian Ice.Stella Barra is great. Might be a little far, but again it depends how much of a walker you are.

Haven't been to Chinois or Chaya Venice but they're classic choices. Like I said, lots on Main.

If you add a bike to the mix, then more opens up. Fast-casuals ShopHouse, Tender Greens, Burger Lounge, etc. on the Promenade (The Misfit, not a fast casual). Gjelina, and all the other places on Abbot Kinney.

You will be right by 800 Degree Pizza and you could walkto Mondo Tacos at cloverfield and colorado. Also Frito Misto at 6th. Bay Cities at Lincoln nr Broadway. Wahoo's Fish on Wilshire nr 6th, Fromin's Deli (great tuna fish) on Wishire at 18th and Earth Wind and Flour at 23nd and Wilshire. But be alert on a bike. S.M. cops are intense! My husband was on a bike, just about to enter the promenade when cops stopped him and preventedhis entry...

You will be right by 800 Degree Pizza, next best is Santa Monica Seafood Cafe, Wilshire and 10th. Also Frito Misto at 6th before it closes. Bay Cities at Lincoln nr Broadway. Wahoo's Fish on Wilshire. You could probably walk to Fromin's Deli (great tuna fish) on Wishire at 18th and Earth Wind and Flour at 23nd and Wilshire. Mondo Tacos at Cloverfield and Colorado is also possible. But be alert on a bike. S.M. cops are intense! My husband was on a bike, just about to enter the promenade when cops stopped him and preventedhis entry...

That 800 Degrees is awful. I don't think anyone who works there has ever tasted a real neapolitan pizza. I've eaten there twice and the pizza is always a slimy mess. My last visit I complained to the manager but even the replacement pizza he personally made was soggy. The Westwood location is better but I've completely soured on that place after a great initial impression.

I agree. I live right near the OP's area, and love to walk, but hoofing it to 23rd and Wilshire or Cloverfield/Colorado would stretch the limits of what I'd consider an easy stroll for food. Might as well head to Abbot Kinney instead.

Yes, many of the places that are being recommended are 2 - 3 miles from 2nd and Hill. Walkable, maybe, but not exactly a leisurely stroll to dinner. I would have to say that there isn't much in that immediate area that I absolutely love other than Stella Bara. Chaya Venice and Enterprise Fish Co. are both decent for happy hour. La Vecchia is good if not cutting edge Italian.

Also someone may have already mentioned but you're not too far from all the places on Rose in Venice - Venice Beach Wines, Superba Snack Bar, Cafe Gratitude, Hostaria del Piccolo.
